Sanctuary in Parliament follow up with MP Chris Williamson

A group of us from Derby City of Sanctuary met with Chris Williamson MP for Derby North (second from right, front row) to follow up November’s Sanctuary in Parliament event at Westminster. We talked through the three asks, and explained to him how the present system was affecting sanctuary seekers personally. It was a good meeting and he was very supportive, promising to follow up the issues in Parliament.

Derby City of Sanctuary is part of the City of Sanctuary Network, a movement spread throughout the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, committed to building a culture of hospitality and welcome, especially for refugees seeking sanctuary from war and persecution.
